Camp Out by Alan Collins
My design is about one man camping in desert Country. He travels a long way in the car and sometimes it needs fixing, like bush mechanics. When he goes through the bush and visits sacred sites, he takes the radiator. When he comes back, he makes a fire, cooks the meat, and boils the billy for a cup of tea before he goes to sleep in the swag. The best thing about camping and being out bush is the quiet; there is no noise except for the owl.
